Celebrity Style: Alexa Chung

Alexa Chung is a well known British trendsetter who frequently appears on the “best-dressed” list in the fashion world. Her effortlessly chic and modern street style has become a muse for many fashionistas from all over the world. Her signature collared top with a girly skirt paired with a preppy coat/jacket screams Alexa Chung! Alexa, the fresh “face” of Madewell shows many of us how to mix a preppy style with a bit of a tomboy spirit.

Check out Get Stylin’ and show us how you channel your inner Alexa Chung!

I don’t know about you guys, but going shopping is becoming more and more a chore rather than a recreation. The long lines, the lack of selections, and digging through the messy, unorganized clothing racks has drawn many to the World Wide Web to shop.

There are great benefits to shopping online such as:

• NO LINES (THE.BEST.)

• NO MESSY CLOTHING RACKS, FITTING ROOMS, ETC. (ALSO.THE.BEST.)

• More sizes • Variety in styles and/or selections

• Discount codes, coupons and offers

• Customer reviews/comments on products There are also, however, some downsides to shopping online such as:

• Not being able to try-on items

• “The wait” for merchandise to arrive

• Not being able to “last minute shop” (unless you want to bear paying those dreadful over-night fees)

• Shipping back wrong sizes/fits

Here are (3) of my favorite places to shop virtually:

1. http://www.modcloth.com - I chose this site simply because they have THE cutest variety of apparel, accessories, shoes and even things for your apartment or office! They are also very social media friendly and interact daily on all of their handles, which is very cool and important.

2. http://www.forever21.com - I know many of you may be either thinking; A, why did she choose Forever 21 as one of her favorite places to shop online there is a Forever 21 EVERYWHERE; or B, I’m so over Forever 21 (because, I feel that way 87% of the time too). BUT, I chose this site simply because of checkmarks 1 – 6! No shade to F21, but the lines can be ridiculous…along with the racks and fitting rooms, and it seems like every time I go in to find something to wear, I leave mad, frustrated and confused. Their online shopping though, the complete opposite! Way more variety and selections to choose from (a lot of things I’ve never seen in the store). And even if something doesn’t quite fit or work out you can simply take it up to an F21 store near you, since, you know, they’re EVERYWHERE ;).

3. http://www.gojane.com - This is short and sweet, good clothing, GREAT shoes, OMG prices! Affordable cute shoes = winner. Fin.

That’s my top three places to shop online, hope you give them a try (if you haven’t already) and let me know what you think!

Keep it Haute, Amberly “Haute Lady” Moore

What is the best way to spice up an old tee, carry over wearability with spring and summer tops all while staying warm this fall: hats and scarves. What you will soon learn about me is that I absolutely, positively love hats and scarves; aside from earrings, they are the best choice of adornment. Hats not only offer warmth and protection from treacherous inclement weather days, they also offer “protection” from treacherous inclement hair days (which, if you are like me, happens often).

This season there are a variety of styles, textures and prints to choose from, so don’t get discouraged if you have yet to meet your match made in hat heaven. Here are some haute hats and sassy scarves to try this fall without breaking the piggy bank from Forever21 and Urban Outfitters:

Keep it Haute,

Amberly “HauteLady” Moore

GS Style Inspiration of the Day

Bellagolka posted this easy-to-copy outfit including a denim button-down and floral pants. This outfit is simple, but the printed pants make it a total head turner. It walks the line of being casual and feminine - and also leaves room for accessorizing tailored to your style, such as adding a punky spiked bracelet and moto boots to toughen it up or wearing a girly headband and ballet flats to keep it classic. Inspire us with your style at Get Stylin’!

GS Style Inspiration of the Day

It’s not impossible to pull off polished menswear staples in the summer, as acollectedgentleman demonstrates with this look. A tailored gray blazer contrasts relaxed blue pants, and the extra colors of his button-down shirt and pocket square pull the outfit together and keep it from being predictable. The white Bass shoes also pick up the white in the shirt nicely and are perfect for the pre-Labor Day season. Wanna share what you wear to keep cool (and look cool) in the summer? Go to GetStylin.com!

GS Style Inspiration of the Day

This evening date outfit from Schnursays is relaxed with a sleeveless blouse and striped shorts, but still feminine with a pretty statement necklace and platform heels. This look is completely summer appropriate, but could also be pulled off as an autumn date outfit as well - just add a comfy cardigan and tights. Share your date-ready styles at Get Stylin’!

         Ace Ventura

I am really diggin’ this Get Stylin’ Ace Ventura-inspired look by acollectedgentleman.

This look features a Ralph Lauren Floral Button Up, H&M Navy Blue Pants, and White Shepard Bucs by Bass.
